Article contents:== Outdated egg! This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for [[/eggref/4/miscmacros|the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg]], if it exists. If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the [[https://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-4.html|egg index]]. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN. [[tags: egg]] == miscmacros [[toc:]] === Description Various useful little macros. === Author [[/users/felix winkelmann|felix winkelmann]] === Requirements None === Download [[http://code.call-cc.org/legacy-eggs/3/miscmacros.egg|miscmacros.egg]] === Documentation <macro>(let/cc K BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} with {{K}} bound to the current-continuation. <macro>(until TEST BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} repeatedly while the expression {{TEST}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(repeat TIMES BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} {{TIMES}} times. <macro>(repeat* TIMES BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} {{TIMES}} times, with the variable {{it}} bound to the count-down value. <macro>(dotimes (VAR TIMES [FINAL]) BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} {{TIMES}} times, with the variable {{VAR}} bound to the count-up value. Returns the result of the {{FINAL}} expression or {{(void)}} when no {{FINAL}} expression. <macro>(while TEST BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} repeatedly until the expression {{TEST}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(while* TEST BODY ...)</macro> Executes {{BODY ...}} repeatedly, with the result of {{TEST}} bound to the variable {{it}}, until the expression {{TEST}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(if* X Y [Z])</macro> The ''anaphoric'' {{if}}: if the expression {{X}} evaluates to a true value, the expression {{Y}} will be executed with the result of {{X}} bound to the variable {{it}}. If {{X}} is false, then then {{Z}} (if supplied) will be evaluated: (if* (> 3 1) it) ==> #t (if* (memq 'a '(b a c)) (cdr it) 99) ==> (c) (if* #f it 1) ==> 1 (if* #f #f) ==> #<unspecified> <macro>(push! X LOC)</macro> equivalent to (set! LOC (cons X LOC)) Note that {{LOC}} may be any settable location. <macro>(pop! LOC)</macro> Returns the first element from the list stored in the location {{LOC}} and sets {{LOC}} to the cdr of the previous value. <macro>(inc! LOC)</macro> Equivalent to {{(set! LOC (add1 LOC))}}. <macro>(dec! LOC)</macro> Equivalent to {{(set! LOC (sub1 LOC))}}. <macro>(ignore-errors BODY ...)</macro> Evaluates the expressions in {{BODY ...}}. If any exceptions should be raised during execution of the body, then the exceptions will be caught, and {{ignore-errors}} returns {{#f}}. <macro>(begin0 BODY ...)</macro> Evaluates {{BODY ...}} just like {{begin}}, but instead of returning the last value(s), {{begin0}} returns the result (or the results) of the first expression in {{BODY ...}}. <macro>(define-enum ->INT ->SYM ID ...)</macro> Defines an enumeration. The variables {{ID, ...}} are bound to the exact integers {{0, 1, ...}} with {{define-constant}}. {{ID}} may also take the form {{(ID N)}}, in which case the counter will be set to the exact integer {{N}} for that variable, and continue upward normally from there. A procedure named {{->INT}} will be defined that takes a symbols and returns the respective integer. A procedure {{->SYM}} will also be defined that takes an integer and returns the respective symbol (from the set of {{ID}}s). If a symbol doesn't map to an integer (or vice versa), {{#f}} is returned. <macro>(define-optionals ((VAR1 DEFAULT1) ...) ARGUMENTS)</macro> Defines the globals {{VAR1 ...}} with the values taken from the list {{ARGUMENTS}}, or with {{DEFAULT1 ...}}, if the list is shorter. <macro>(define-parameter VAR [VALUE [GUARD]])</macro> Equivalent to (define VAR (make-parameter VALUE [GUARD])) {{VALUE}} defaults to {{(void)}}. <macro>(ignore-values EXP)</macro> Evaluates {{EXP}} ignoring any return values. Returns an unspecified value. <macro>(modify-location LOC PROC)</macro> Expands into a call to PROC with two arguments: a zero-argument procedure for retrieving the value from the settable location LOC and a one argument procedure for setting the value of LOC. Care is taken to evaluate any subforms in LOC only once. {{modify-location}} is intended to create modification macros for generalized locations (as in [[http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-17|SRFI-17]]. (define-macro (increment! loc) `(modify-location ,loc (lambda (ref upd) (upd (add1 (ref)))) ) ) (define x (vector 123)) (increment (vector-ref x (print 0))) ; sets x to #(124) and prints "0" only once <macro>(modify! LOC PROC)</macro> Modifies the contents of location LOC by applying the procedure PROC to it's contents and setting LOCs to the result. LOC may be any settable location. (define-macro (increment! loc) `(modify! ,loc add1) ) <macro>(exchange! LOC1 LOC2)</macro> Exchanges the contents of the given locations. LOC1 and LOC2 may be any settable locations. === Changelog * 2.5 Add counter set capability to {{define-enum}} [zbigniew] * 2.4 Added {{modify!}} and {{exchange!}} [felix] * 2.3 Added {{dotimes}} [by Kon Lovett] * 2.2 Fixed bug in {{pop!}} * 2.1 Added {{modify-location}} and made location-modification macros general for {{set!}}table locations * 2.0 Added some simple looping constructs [by Kon Lovett] * 1.9 Added {{while*}} [by Kon Lovett] * 1.8 Fixed bug in {{if*}} [Thanks to Houman Zolfaghari] * 1.7 Added {{ignore-values}} and {{define-parameter}} * 1.6 Fixed bug in {{if*}} [Thanks to Michele Simionato] * 1.5 removed {{shift!}} and {{rotate!}} * 1.4 {{ignore-errors}} returns {{#f}} on exception * 1.3 Added missing documentation for {{define-optionals}} * 1.2 Added {{define-enum}} [by Alex Shinn] * 1.1 Added {{inc!}} and {{dec!}} * 1.0 Initial release === License Copyright (c) 2004-2005, Felix L.
